Hello;
I'm looking for nvidia drivers for SuSE 9.1. While the Novell site is very fancy, it seems to change often, and now I cannot find where all of the old SuSE rpms are located. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks
I've seen the instructions on the nvidia site and it looks like I need to compile a kernel. Did you find this to be true? I was hoping to find some YAST-like solution that might allow me to install the driver as a module. I'm avoiding the kernel route because I cannot afford (right now) to break this installation.
Thanks! (sorry Dave, forgot about the open-SuSE reply-to thing)
You only need your kernel sources, syms and headers from your current kernel installed, you should have everything you need on your dvd or cdroms. Use yast to install that and gcc, make etc, they are listed in the nvidia site readmes, and have full functionality of your nvidia card. ftp://ftp.is.co.za/mirror/ftp.suse.com/i386/9.3/suse/ still has a full 9.3 mirror but I had a few problems with packages. The nvidia.com route is the safest route. Hope this helps Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
